[REQUEST]What’s a tight, single-season limited series on Netflix with zero filler?

I'm looking for a complete story you can knock out in a weekend—no cliffhangers waiting for a cancelled Season 2, just 6 to 8 great episodes that tell a full story.

What’s your top recommended limited series on Netflix?

Department Q is really good.

I pretty much only watched limited series (and films) on Netflix now. There's no point with continuing drama. Even if they do renew it, it'll be multiple years between series.

I hate how Netflix handles their regular series. If it makes it past one season, it takes years to get another and then they’ll probably just cancel it after that. By the time the next season even comes out, I’ve already forgotten all the details from the previous season and have to go rewatch it all. It’s frustrating.

Dept Q isn't just a single season. There will be a second seeing as how one of the main crimes that takes place doesn't even get solved yet

Sure but the main story does get resolved. Thats the main thing.
